Innuos do not feature a full Spotify service integration (similar to TIDAL or Qobuz integrations). However, Sense does incorporate the Logitech Media Server (LMS) software which can allow Spotify Connect functionality by enabling a community-provided plugin for the LMS platform. This means the Innuos system can be accessed as a Spotify Connect streaming device via the Spotify app.
Requirements
- Innuos system updated with the latest innuOS v2.x or Sense 3.x
- Spotify app working on a supported control device or computer
- Innuos System set to in Innuos Standalone Mode
